Here Christopher Hitchens lectures on the failure of the international community to deal with the Bosnian crisis. It should be noted that this speech was given on Mar 4 1994, while the Bosnian war was still going on, and more than a year before the Srebrenica massacre.

Hitchens' position on the matter is clear the international community (e.g. UN, NATO, and US forces) should use military force to intervene in the region and prevent genocide. Eventually there was an intervention, but not until aproximately 200,000 were killed.

  • Sorry Christopher, But whit the Albanian Genocide of the Serbs after the NATO bombing in 1999 proves that the leaders of the west don't care whos religious buildings are destroyed by who.

  • It seems to me like the Bosniaks received particular sympathy (from Hitchens et al, anyway) because they were viewed as less able to defend themselves. The Muslim/Croat war in 1992-93 would have reinforced this idea.

  • one thing that is often over looked by the west, is the burning of Croatian Catholic churches committed by serbs.
